Charles was great today. Awesome start, given Max a fight for the first place for a lap and then making more thinking than our strategy team while driving a car 300kph.

Charles did all he could to-day for the team. Pity Carlos was not there to help.
Forza Jules
Agreed … at least the last races seem to show an improvement specially in tire wear
Good effort from Charles trying to get us second in the constructors.
Overall we made a lot of mistakes collectively so it should of never come down to the final race to try and secure second.
Lots to improve on next season. Hopefully we've built something better. Fred said he knew since Bahrain the car wasn't good so let's see.
See you guys next spring ! Now we can take a breath atleast
Look like a dream team is coming
Great driving and thinking by Leclerc this weekend
Hopefully we see a chassis next year that can match Red Bull.
Forza Ferrari
Ferrari also deserves some praise for turning this car around in races. From a car that was chewing up its tyres at the beginning to a car that takes care of its tyres as good as anyone towards the end. Well done.
But they need to turn their heads around and start backing Charles. No more Binotto-era ******** and pandering to the Sainz-clan
Well, Charles did everything he could, including that very clever move with Perez, but it just was not enough.
Carlos bad qualy cost us P2.
You can run like the wind, but you'll never outrun the Prancing Horse
Ferrari should have done Pit lane start for Sainz with race setup. Atleast he would have got points. His pace was horrible today & yesterday in quali.
Ferrari should have judged it by his quali pace yesterday itself. Instead started in 16th.
Ferrari on mediums is now much closer to RB than start of the season. The major problem for Ferrari is Hard Tyres. They fall of the cliff soon & don’t get turned on immediately on the car.
& yes Ferrari should back Leclerc more and get the race winning car. Then we will see good battles in the front.
Hopefully next year’s car will be more competitive and able to fight for wins from the start
If that’s the case, surely Ferrari will have to back Charles as the lead driver
Not really any incentive under current aero regulations and budget cap to finish P2 anyway.
Can't spend additional revenue, so just disappears into Elkann's pocket.
Gets more wind tunnel time for next season.
At least it's a nice reminder from Charles who's the team's number one driver and Carlos has to ask how he managed to master Singapore but make Abu Dhabi look like Macau. Not that I was watching anyway. Might pay the subscription for next season if winter testing is alright, but until then 19 Firstappen wins during my rare spare time from work is something I can do without. Liberty Media have made F1 a predictable farce and it just keeps getting worse.
Brembo how come CL (with more bad luck) is ahead in final standing than your favorite driver CS (with a 1 belt win as only non-redbull win of the season)? how come he is behind in points tally than CL?
I'm very glad to see Charles and the team still have plenty of fighting spirit despite the bad season we had this year.
Its clear Charles haven't given up yet. Give him a good car and he will be fighting for the title next season.
All things considered, we ended the season on a good note.
Perez rarely has a clean race, moron lost us P2 in constructers. Having said that, if our chances depend upon others, we have ourselves to blame first
